I assume this is a Coach Chill recruit, since he is from Washington? Reel him in!

If our staff and the staff at WVU like him, that's enough for me.

UConn: “I like UConn a lot. I have always liked them ever since Kemba Walker and Shabazz Napier. I started watching them a lot around then. I also met Chill (Raphael Chillious) over at UW and then when he went over there, we didn’t talk much. I congratulated him about getting the job but he hit me up right after the end of the Las Vegas Classic and went from there. I talked to Coach (Kevin) Ollie a few other times, too.”

Seems like a no go. From the same article:

They have remained in pursuit of Dimon Carrigan, the Nike circuit’s top shot-blocker this past summer, a local product in the mold of past bigs that had gone on to succeed as rim protectors in Storrs. However, things may have stalled here, but expect for newer names to jump onto the recruiting board this winter as Ollie and staff do not need a polished back-to-the-rim presence, but more of a hard-playing center that can rebound the ball and alter shots.

Is there anyway this is related to us thinking we still have a chance with Shittu? I mean there was talk he was officially visiting and could be committing I believe and then everything goes back to silent. I know Shittu is a long shot but his camp is somewhat quiet too no? Obviously we could only take 1 more Big commit. (I know this is wishful thinking but just can't figure out how local product goes bad so quick when things were going so well).

No. If Shittu had made a silent commitment, the staff would have backed off Carrigan, not the other way around. Mere interest from Shittu wouldn't lead Carrigan to drop UConn, since we have only one scholarship for a big and uconn would not take both.

I think at this point KO has learned to go after what you can get and then try to get the bigger fish later if he is still available. I can't see Shittu's situation affecting Carrigan, especially since they have different skillsets.

Isn't Carey deciding on Oct. 11? I would not wait for him if he won't budge and we get someone nearly as good as him.
I really want 1 more guard and a big.

He's the last guard we have a relationship with so we certainly won't be getting someone "nearly as good as him" in 3.5 weeks.

Wait so we know that Carrigan backed off?? How do we know that? I must have missed that. And again I know I'm being super hopeful and speculative but I'm not talking mere interest from Shittu. I'm talking like the staff knows he is coming for an OV. And think they can nab him. And if the situation was that Carrigan was coming to commit then UConn would have in essence had to bail on Shittu if that happened.

What do you consider Mathews to be?
 
Good friend that is a high school coach up in Washington had this to say:

Wants to leave Washington

Has grown three inches over the last sixth months and is supposed to be 6'9

Called him a pure and efficient scorer that is now working on defending the 1-4.

3 pt shot has vastly improved.

His money is on Yukon. says he loves Chill and thinks he should easily be a top 100 kid, but because of the late growth spurt, will stay under the radar.
